I was working then. Never locked down or quarantined. I was amazed at how few cars were on the roads. For me, 2020 was my best income ever, a lot of overtime. I was forced out in 2021 because i refused the clot shot. Best thing i ever did was to retire.
Sounds like your situation was similar to mine. Although not forced out, I retired from the DoD on 12/31/2019....just prior to the federal civil servant shot mandate.
Since I had enough service time to leave with full benefits, even if I hadn’t been planning to already leave, the mandatory shot requirement woulda done it.
And yes, in 2020 traffic was as light as I have ever seen it.
